    To celebrate the release of Hopido, our first iPhone game release, we'll give away ten promo codes to the toucharcadians who come up with the best ahoprisms. An ahoprism is like an aphorism but with one word hoptified, hopfully in an amusing way. Something like this:

    "As long as there is life, there is hop."
    "Hop is where the heart is."
    "Fear can hold you prisoner. Hop can set you free."
    "Hop never abandons you, you abandon it."

    The ahoprisms can be twisted from classic movie quotes, ancient chinese proverbs or whatever you can think of.

    The contest is open until all codes have found a deserving owner! (Only one code per person.)

    --
    Edit: People, these are really good, keep 'em coming! The jury will convene tomorrow at noonish CET to pick the winners. And yeah, the codes only work at the US store, according to Mr. Apple.

    What oxygen is to the lungs, such is hope to the meaning of life." Emil Brunner

    One of y favorite movie quotes is from the Shawshank Redemption when Red is warning Andy about hope or hop:

    "Let me tell you something my friend. Hop is a dangerous thing. Hop can drive a man insane. "

    Sorry forgot to add these to my post:)

    *The man who smiles when things go hop has thought of someone to blame it on. - Robert Bloch
    *Hop is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils ... - Louis Hector Berlioz
    *It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose hop, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until hop arrives.
    *Hop never killed anybody, but why take a chance?
    *Constantly choosing the lesser of two hops is still choosing hop. - Jerry Garcia
    *Everyone needs believe in something. I believe in hop.

    Hope I get a code :D

    Four more hours to send in your ahoprisms. Don't be discouraged by the high quality of previous submissions!

    Alright, I hereby announce the ahoprism contest over. Since there were less than ten participants, we sent Hopido promo codes to everyone. In fact, there is even one code left over. Here it is up for grabs to whoever is the quickest:

    PF49WEXNE7E3

    Although we'd like to have seen even more great ahoprisms, maybe it was best we didn't have to rank them in any order. I won't even name a personal favorite, but I must thank(?) debugdesign in particular: I don't think I'll ever be able to hear the lyrics to that Eddy Grant song correctly again... :D

    Hop, Jo'anna!
    Hop before the morning come!
